IMPACT Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new cognitive behavioral therapy program for people with chronic pain who are also being treated with buprenorphine or methadone. The therapy program includes components from an existing program (CBT4CBT) and a new program (COPES). The trial will compare the new program to standard care in a group of 160 people, measuring outcomes such as pain interference and adherence to agonist treatment.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with opioid use disorder (OUD) who are on methadone or buprenorphine treatment and have chronic pain. They must be able to walk a block, speak English at a basic level, and not have severe health issues or untreated mental disorders that could interfere with the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing an integrated web-based program combining cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT4CBT) and Cooperative Pain Education Self-Management (COPES). It aims to improve adherence to medication-assisted treatment for OUD and manage chronic pain better than standard care alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a behavioral intervention involving education and self-management without medications, there may not be direct side effects like those seen with drugs. However, participants might experience discomfort while learning new coping skills.
